considering the easy porting next gen.
I think we will see more of these games on xb1 too

Well...they can only meet demand where the games are meant to gain demand. If the games are meant for the western audience like Capcom titles and MGS then they will be on both consoles. If they are made for the Japanese culture they will more than likely stay exclusive. If the 360 had a larger marketshare in Japan they would've had more games, but because the Japanese do not see the 360 as a console of interest because it essentially does the same thing as the PS3, the home brand is obviously the one of choice. Look what happened when the 360 version of FFXIII was announced. Japan blew up because they they were saying  it was pointless to spend so much money on a port that wouldn't be supported. The 360 version of FFXIII didn't sell well in the end even with the million plus 360's sold.

even if JP games go multiplatform, I believe it'll sell more on PS4 because its cheaper.

We also have tales of xillia 2 coming out exclusively for ps3, and maybe even persona 5.

Big reason why I prefer PS3 and am finding 2013 to be a banner year is great Japanese exclusives for my tastes. I have confidence this will continue on with the PS4.

If you are a JRPG fan then PS3 is the best choice actually.

"A huge portion of the PS3's exclusives don't actually come from first party studios, they come from Japanese developers where basically the PS3 is the only option for them."

No, they always had 3 options.

Sony will always get those games as "exclusives". There is nothing MS can do, however I don't think any person interested in Japanese games buys a 360.

Only the ones who thought the first couple years of the 360's life were going to continue for the rest of the generation as far as Japanese support goes.  Was pretty damn close to doing that myself for a while.  Probably would've if I had an easy place to put the 360.   

And I'm sure all the Xbots are crying out that it's all 100% Japan's fault for Microsoft's epic failure over there. Sod those Japanese gamers for not wanting to play the same mindless CoD and Battlefield every year. How dare they prefer quality and diversity over absolute repetition from a product that completely designed for an audience halfway around the world. For shame Japan, for shame!

PS4 already has Japan right off the bat, seeing as there already Japanese oriented titles slated for release and M$ has pretty much flat out said they've abandoned the Japanese market. If and when PS4 takes NA (seems very likely at this point), then it will be total domination for the system. Wii-U isn't even a competition, even over in Japan.

Moderated,

Au contraire.

If you're all about the more niche Japanese games, such as visual novels and bullet hell games, you're pretty much obliged to own one. Those barely get localized, though. In fact, I can't name a single visual novel for the 360 that got localized (SHMUPs have had it easier).

That statement is a bit more truthful now than it was in 2007-8, though, years when MS was trying to crack Japan.
